Common questions
Why mount safety film on the outside?
Sometimes there is no choice — fixed interior glazing beads, tenants you cannot displace, or interior finishes in the way. Exterior films let you do the job without going inside.
Why is the exterior warranty shorter?
It sits in the weather. Avery warrants exterior films by mounting angle instead of by building type, because a sloped or horizontal pane takes far more UV and heat than a vertical one — hence 5 years vertical and 3 years sloped.
